Hey man, just thought I stop by to let you know that your sax work on ASSASSINS is fucking great!!! the minute I heard it I knew it was you. Keep it coming looking forward to your show at the empty bottle and the Beat Kitchen.
Hi! Actually, I don't know any Finnish psych bands. But maybe they are just too much underground, so I haven't heard about them. But there are two bands to my knowledge, that might interest you: Heroin and Your Veins and Magyar Posse.
nice seeing you last night after the Maiden show, man! hope you guys found your way home eventually - and found something better than a hotel bar or a chain restaurant to drink in...
Are you ready for some baseball? It is that time of year again. I know you have been mad busy, but lets figure out a game I can take you to soon. Hope your well. Let me know when you are working the early shift at the bottle and I will come visit.
